The Mathematics of Finance has been a hot 
topic ever since the discovery of the Black-Scholes option
 pricing formulas in 1973. Unfortunately, there are very few undergraduate 
textbooks in this area. This book is specifically written for advanced
 undergraduate or beginning graduate students in mathematics, finance 
or economics. This book concentrates on discrete derivative pricing models,
culminating in a careful and complete derivation of the Black-Scholes option
 pricing formulas as a limiting case of the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein discrete model. 
This second edition is a complete rewrite of the first edition with significant
 changes to the topic organization, thus making the book flow much more smoothly.
 Several topics have been expanded such as the discussions of options, including 
the history of options, and pricing nonattainable alternatives. In this edition
 the material on probability has been condensed into fewer chapters, and the
 material on the capital asset pricing model has been removed. The mathematics 
is not watered down, but it is appropriate for the intended audience. Previous
 knowledge of measure theory is not needed and only a small amount of linear
 algebra is required. All necessary probability theory is developed throughout
 the book on a
 "need-to-know" basis. No background in finance is required, since the book 
contains a chapter on options.
